How to Refresh Your Skin in Hot Weather: The Power of Gentle Exfoliation

Hot weather can make your skin feel vibrant, but it can also leave it looking dull and tired. While you’re spending more time outdoors soaking up the sun, your skin is busy dealing with humidity, sweat, sunscreen buildup, and environmental pollutants. Over time, this can lead to clogged pores, uneven texture, and a lackluster complexion.

Why Hot Weather Can Dull Your Glow

In warm, humid conditions, your skin produces more sweat and oil. Combined with sunscreen, dirt, and dead skin cells, this buildup can sit on the surface of your skin, making it appear dull, rough, and tired.

Common summer skin concerns include:

  • Clogged pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Rough, bumpy texture
  • Lack of radiance

The good news?!?!  You don’t need harsh treatments to bring your glow back. The solution is simple: gentle exfoliation.

Gentle Exfoliation: The Summer Skin Reset

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and impurities that build up on the surface, revealing smoother, more radiant skin underneath. But in hot weather, your skin is already working hard, so harsh scrubs can do more harm than good. That’s where dry brushing and a gentle body wash come in.

Your Exfoliation Routine

Step 1: Dry Brush Before Your Shower

Dry brushing is a simple technique that gently exfoliates your skin while stimulating circulation. Before your shower, lightly brush your dry skin using long, upward strokes, starting from your feet and moving toward your heart. This helps:

  • Remove dead skin cells
  • Stimulate blood flow
  • Support lymphatic drainage
  • Prepare your skin for cleansing

Step 2: Cleanse with ILERA Apothecary’s Body Wash
